fallujah not under control already
It's indicative of the media's wonderment -- I've had the television on all day, almost all of it on CNN, FOX News, or the networks and all I've heard is that a jury recommended the death penalty for Scott Peterson and jingoistic bullshit about the one year anniversary of the capture of Saddam.
That's all that matters I guess...who cares that eight soldiers died yesterday in Fallujah, a city that was more or less leveled less than a month ago in a so-called "successful" mission to drive out the insurgents. Less than a month and they're back.
You see, this just goes to show how majorly fucked up the situation is in Iraq. It goes to show just how our efforts to quell the violence is only as effective as daming a stream with sand...pour in all sorts of resources and you'll stop the flow, but it won't take long for a little water to trickle through, then a little more, then a little more than that...until suddenly it's as if you never did anything in the first place.
The fact that thigns are flaring up again already is a big story...bigger than some prick in California getting the death peanlty. It is something that actually effects us. But then, it's something that could be deemed as being critical of the administration and that's not something that the media seems to have the balls to do anything about these days.
